9 yrs ago, the TPMS alert light went off on my 10 yrs old TOYO full size SUV. I bought 5 new TPMS from AMZ for 140 bucks something and had Costco Tire Center installed them for me. Costco charged $70 for the entire job including the installation and rebalancing on 4+1 tires.

Put a C clamp on it then suck them open

I see you selling the diagnostic tool. I'm out.

interesting 👍

What about tire balance? You should also lubricate the bead. You went from n"o sensor tire valve" to a "tpms sensor and tire valve". I think I will just go to a tire shop and get it done right.

Yeah I'm spending the 20 dollars at a used tire shop

With no special tools?

Installing a pain in the butt? Removing a tire off of a wheel is simple. What about initializing without a damn piece of twidgets crap without that piece of digital stuff? What does a tire shop charge? Most small shops can't do it.

Thank you! Unfortunately, it didn't work for me, but I appreciate your effort to help. Keep up the good work.

Seems like a great idea at first…but then you get that ‘aha’ moment…and you come to the reslization that you need to pull all 4 of the wheels off anyway…so you can get ‘em re-balanced…

All great advice, till you find when you break the seal on the tyre, the seal has to be re-made. This isn't always straightforward and unless you have access to the equipment needed to re-real the tyre on the rim, you're going to wake up every morning to annoying flats. An issue prevalent on low profile performance tyres. Ask me how I know this!

"No special tools", 0:53 in, I went ahead and purchased a special tool for $180.

Any vehicle sold in the US since 1996 has to be OBD2 compliant. Before 1996 they each had their own way of communicating with the PCM. When I bought my old 1994 Ranger I had to go back and re-learn OBD1 diagnostics, but that's ok, now I know both!

I replaced all four of the TPMs and attempted the GMC Sierra 1500 onboard calibration procedure 2 times without success. I then ordered a inexpensive hand held TMP calibration tool for $10 from Amazon and it worked! I thought I was going to have to break down all four tires and replace the TPMs all over again, the TPM learning tool worked.

WRONG am I the only person who realized that the OLD sensor fell off inside the tire when u pulled out the original valve stem?? now it will rattle around inside the tire, and cause big balance problems

I have never heard of using vacuum to break a bead. That's just genius.

That tool cost Iike 300 hundred dollars 😂😂😂 not cheap and bet you that most of us don't have that special tool 😂😂

Clickbait title

.. " with no special tools" 30 SECS LATER: So I use MAXITPMS tool that costs almost 200 bucks 😁

thanks sir very usefull

For those that are complaining about the price of the tool, there are plenty of them on Amazon for $10-$20. Only thing is, they’re brand specific. So if you find one for Fords, it will ONLY work for Fords, or they will do American/Japan/German vehicles only. So if you like to stick to one brand, or if you keep your vehicles for a long time, this can be a good option. I found one that works with GM and Ford, which is nice since I have both those brands in my driveway. Bought it for $12-$13. It works, can’t complain. Also, some GMs and Fords ( _that I know of. There could be other brands that do this_ ) also have this function built in to their vehicles (not all models though), where it requires you to deflate or inflate the tire(s) so the sensor knows which position it’s at. So that’s a somewhat “free” version for you guys.

I have 3 sensors out. Shop Wanted almost $500. Let’s just say my light is still on.

I can appreciate this video. I would only use this method in an emergency. This seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to save 20-25 bucks. However, I love learning new ways to do things. I can appreciate you taking the time to show how it's done. If a person truly doesn't have the money, and doesn't mind putting in the work, this can be very useful. Thank you.

Maybe reverse polarity on a small compressor. Wonder if that will work in reverse?

Vacuum pump. Who knew.

Ford's do not have nut that secures sensor to rim?

YA RIGHT PAY TO HAVE IT DONE CORRECTLY

Great Video! Just save my dishwasher, Samsung DW80M9550US. I also add some grease to it. After the whole things were done, the dishwasher still not working. I could not figure it out why until I poured a gallon of water into it. It suddenly works as before. Thank you so much; you are a genius!

Thanks !!!

Ppl bitching about that $2 valve core remover. haha. Did ya not see how he removed that tire from rim so easy. I've had 4-wheeler since I was 5yr and started racing karts at 10yrs and cars since 14yrs and never seen a bead broke down like that...awe lil trick to know if your in a pinch sometime. Thanks for the tip!!! can't believe they're people bitching talking about reporting you the TH-cam pigs🫤 at the beginning he said skip to the end. For the trip. IMO a tool you can get at the gas station isn't a special tool.

*Everyone else annoyed by the LIE in his subject line* Dont forget that 👎. I for one am also selecting "DO NOT RECOMMEND VIDEOS FROM THIS CHANNEL" back in my feed. ONLY way to stop these click-baiters.

Lube the new stem before inserting. You’re welcome.

Having worked at a tire shop, I can tell you that there are a lot of aftermarket sensors that don't work or last very long, it at all.

TPMS wouldn't be so bad if the CUSTOMER can adjust it without special tools. Most are set far too LOW.

Nice. I’ll have to try this…

Great way to break the bead off the rim.

So $350 total for sensors and tool, then you wasted 4h to put that in...lol... Any small tire shop will do this for $150 and done in 20 min.. enjoy life, don't waste it !

Thanks for the tip on how to remove the tire. For this, I will tell you how to wake up the sensors without leaving the workshop - you need to take a medium-sized rubber sledgehammer and knock on the tire near the sensor several times. This action will wake up your sensor in the pressure sensor and activate the sensor itself to be detected by the vehicle.

Very clever. I will try this on my Silverado.

Oh look, its a special tool holding a special tool

THAT LOOKS LIKE A SPECIAL TOOL IN YOUR HAND.

"Replace TPMS with no special tools...." Did you build that tool? because it looks pretty special. Oh! you called it a MaxiTPMS and it looks like its being sold all over. i would have put a patent on it. Some people would call that a special tool. just sayin....

why are you working in the shad

$3 tire gauge. Done.

I like the thought of vac the air out, but if you have a Sumitomo tire with thick side walls, that is not going to work. I used a door header wood from a 30" door and drove my S10 blazer using tire lube, and it is a bear, I get the truck just about to the top before bead breaks. Going to try the vacuum trick next time to see if beads break easier. And yeah, no need to balance if you are using the same sensor, and they weigh about the same. Every time I check the balance, it is always the same as it was. Yes I check before I replace to see if it was balanced, maybe I am lucky mine were in balance with 5k on tires.

Thanks again for your guidance. . . . . . . . was a huge help 👍

Buy a AC pump at Harbor Fright...Works better at sucking the tire down. We use them to suck the air out of Drag race tires to get the rim and tire off the back of the car. Also you can buy sensors that don't need to be program or you can buy a cheap tool that comes with it on certain models. You can buy a set of 4 for about 80 bucks. They are a direct replacement part for your vehicle.

Good luck trying this with my E rated Toyo 35's!!

Oh by the way Matt, get some knee pads and socks okay!

Only one thing I saw that would make it easier, lube the stem and tire bead with soapy water! thanks! never thought of vacuum
